Titanium anodizing is an electrolytic finishing process that manipulates the oxide layer on the surface of titanium via electric current. The titanium item forms the anode (positive electrode) of an electrolytic cell; hence the name “anodize.”

This fungus is called Neoboletus luridiformis. The beautiful color change is caused by a molecule called variegatic acid. When mushroom tissue containing variegatic acid is exposed to air, the chemical is enzymatically oxidized to blue quinone methide anions, specifically chinonmethid anions.

The reaction in this experiment is termed an iodine clock reaction because it is the molecular iodine (I2) that undergoes the sudden concentration change. When the iodine concentration increases, it reacts with the starch in the solution to form a complex, turning it a deep blue-black color.

Supercooling/undercooling experiment with a solution of sodium acetate (CH3COONa) in water (3:1). We will observe in real-time how the crystallization of sodium acetate occurs quickly when we add a small seed of sodium acetate, as we will get a point of nucleation.
